Stigma (Yi Cong Yin)

Chapter 112



Chapter 112: gossip

In the early morning of the next day, the whole court was arguing about Sui Yan Litong’s foreign affairs, and even Song Xian got involved and had a quarrel with the people at Dali Temple.

The emperor watched condescendingly as the people in Dali Temple were arguing with several old officials, his eyes moved slightly, and his eyes lightly fell on the prince on the side.

Since Sui Yan entered the Xing Department last night, Duan Mingchong hasn’t left for a while in the East Palace, as if he didn’t know anything, he was a little strangely calm.

The emperor stared at Duan Mingchong’s expressionless expression for a long time, then he withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, and said, “Don’t make any noise.”

The quarrel stopped abruptly, and everyone nodded slightly, but their expressions were still a bit reluctant.

It would be too arbitrary to make a direct conclusion on the matter between Lord Chaohou and the former princess of Southern Xinjiang based on those letters. The emperor knew that it was difficult to convince the public, so he asked Dali Temple to continue investigating the matter and promised to find out the truth within three days. .

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Dali Temple and the people from the Criminal Ministry were going to discuss the matter with the prince.

Just not getting closer, I saw Duan Ming Chong, who had been standing indifferently, turned and left without saying a word.

Everyone looked at each other.

When the sky was bright, Duan Mingchong walked to the Xingbu Yamen with a calm face, and said to the official at the door: “Where is Sui’an?”

The man was still dozing off. Seeing Duan Mingchong was immediately scared awake, he hurriedly said: “Yes, in there, please come with your Highness.”

Duan Mingchong took a deep breath in place, adjusted his sleeves, and forced himself to reduce the coldness and sternness, and then walked in with others.

The people from the Xing Department brought people here yesterday, but Suixun insisted on following, and even threatened Shang Shu from the Xing Department, scaring him to death.

They did not dare to put Sui Yan directly into the prison, nor did they dare to release him directly against the emperor’s order, so they could only make a confession as if they had invited a Buddha.

The small penthouse on the west side of the Xing Department’s Yamen was usually used to put files. At this time, it was cleaned up separately, and a soft bed was placed inside, which barely accommodated people.

Duan Mingchong saw four officials holding swords guarding at the door of the penthouse, frowning, seeming a little unhappy.

But Sui Yan was caught by the criminals, and he didn’t live in a cell with a windy ice hole. It was also Sui Xun’s credit to the evil god, and Duan Ming Chong didn’t have much trouble.

The lock on the door was opened, and Duan Mingchong waved his hand gently, asking them to step back, pushing the door and entering by themselves.

The place where the dossier is placed is often not very big, but fortunately it is ventilated and sunny, but it is not as shady and humid as imagined.

The files in the room were moved elsewhere overnight, leaving only two low shelves in the corner, and two hot-burning charcoal basins beside them.

Sui Yan was lying on the soft couch by the window and was sleeping soundly, and there was a delicately carved small incense burner on the small case beside the window. The calming powder inside was burned out, leaving only the fragrance of the room.

Duan Mingchong gently walked forward and sat on the side of the couch, staring at Sui Yan’s sleeping face.

Sui Yan is still heartless and heartless, as if living in this cramped and broken house is no different from living in the bedroom of the East Palace.

One of his hands was exposed, and his fingers still carried the fingers that Duan Ming Chong gave him. The emerald green matched the knuckles, making his fingers pale.

Duan Mingchong knew that he was extremely lethargic. If no one came to call him, he could sleep until three poles in the sun, so he didn’t ask him, but just sat on the side of the couch and stared at him dreamily.

About half an hour, the sunlight came in from the gap of the window lattice and fell beside Sui Yan’s eyes.

Xu Ye was too dazzling, he frowned restlessly in his deep sleep, and didn’t know what to say.

Duan Mingchong was about to stretch out his hand to block the light for him, Sui Yan woke up before his hand was stretched out.

He opened his eyes dumbfoundedly, and looked at Duan Mingchong for a while with absent-minded eyes, before reaching out his hand towards him, and said softly, “Your Highness.”

He opened his hands, his white sleeves slid to his elbows, revealing a white forearm.

Duan Mingchong knew that he was not awake when he saw his eyes half-open. He smiled helplessly and leaned down, gently hugged him, and blocked him by the way.

Sui Yan squinted his eyes around Duan Mingchong’s neck, leaning against his neck, rubbing like a lazy cat.

Before Duan Ming Chong came, he was full of worries and anger. After being rubbed by him like this, he was full of tenderness and broken into pieces. He wanted to rub this person into his arms and never separate.

Duan Mingchong smiled lightly and stretched out his hand to cover Sui Yan’s eyes, and said softly: “What time is this, why are you still asleep?”

Sui Yan rubbed instinctively for a while, before he suddenly became stiff and blinked in a dazed manner.

Duan Mingchong’s palm was swept by his long eyelashes, and it was a bit numb and itchy. He moved his hand slightly away by half an inch, revealing Sui Yan’s eye.

Sui Yan was fully awake at this time, he reached out and held Duan Mingchong’s hand covering one of his eyes, and whispered, “What time is it now?”

Duan Mingchong gently moved his hand, let the light shine in Sui Yan’s eyes, and then immediately moved back.

“Three poles in the sun.”

Sui Yan gently turned sideways, pulling Duan Mingchong’s hand on the side of his face, and yawned, saying: “There is nothing to do here anyway, I can’t go out, play and play. No, just sleep for a while.”

Duan Mingchong laughed directly. He leaned down and touched Sui Yan’s forehead gently, and whispered, “Don’t you worry about not going out again?”

Sui Yan said, “With His Royal Highness here, I don’t worry about anything.”

Duan Ming Chong was startled.

Sui Yan smiled at him and said, “Didn’t you say you will protect me no matter what happens?”

Duan Mingchong looked at him in silence, then took him in his arms and hugged him tightly before muttering, “I said it.”

Duan Mingchong stayed with Sui Yan until noon before getting up and leaving.

Sui Yan did not know why he was extremely lethargic during this period. After Duan Mingchong left, he opened the window to bask in the sun, and then fell asleep in a daze.

When he was asleep, he always seemed to have a dream of unknown content, but after waking up, he didn’t know what it was, only full of palpitations and fear.

Sui Yan often had nightmares when he was ill before, and he only regarded it as mentally unhealthy and did not take it seriously.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs led people to investigate the partial court of the Hou Mansion, and found no evidence of collusion with the princess of Nanjiang. For a while, the people in the court who believed that Sui Yan would not do this were even more emboldened.

After arguing for two days in a row, Sui Yan ate and slept all day at the Xingbu Yamen, and he gained some weight.

On the afternoon of the third day, Sui Yan was leaning on the soft couch to sleep in the morning when he heard the sound of someone talking outside the room.

Duan Mingchong had only been here this morning, it shouldn’t be him.

While Sui Yan was still wondering, the door was opened, and Song Xian and Jiang Enhe held a pile of things in their hands and were led in.

Sui Yan: “…”

Sui Yan sat up slightly, wondering: “What are you doing here?”

Song Xian asked someone to close the door, turned his head, and said ill-intentionally: “Come down, what else can I do?”

Jiang Enhe kicked Song Xian’s calf, glared at him, and said, “If you talk nonsense, go out.”

Song Xian curled his lips and put the things in his hands on the small case next to Sui Yan with Jiang Enhe.

Jiang Enhe had a good temper. He was not as stubborn as Song Xian. He said directly: “We have heard a lot of interesting rumors outside these days. You may be boring and moldy when you are locked up here, so I came here to talk to you. , Relieve boredom.”

Sui Yan straightened up and dialed, and found that it was all snacks wrapped in oil paper, and there were several bags of frosted preserves.

Sui Yan’s disgust with his original face was immediately taken away, and he unceremoniously took two bags in his arms and ate.

Song Xian and Jiang Enhe also pulled a stool and sat around the small case. Unknown to them, they thought they were drinking tea and watching a play in the teahouse.

Jiang Enhe said: “The news that you were arrested in the prison of the Penalty Department spread all over the capital. There are many youngsters who were bullied by you before, all of whom were tortured under the rocks in the tribe, and they were all stopped by the prince and generals.”

Song Xian said, “Tsk, from this we can see how much you hate you.”

Sui Yan squinted at him and said, “Enhelai, I can understand, what are you doing here.”

Song Xian was immediately angry. He poked the candied fruit in Sui Yan’s arms with his finger, and said, “This! This! And this! I bought it!”

Sui Yan hurriedly said, “Well, well, I’m looking for someone to hate, I’m very guilty, continue to continue, what have you been listening to these past few days?”

Gann chuckled the sugar-fried peanuts, looked around, then closed the window, and then whispered mysteriously: “I heard people say that the prince has a habit of breaking sleeves.”

Sui Yan paused while holding the candied fruit, and tilted his head: “Oh?”

“Anyway, it was spread by no one in Beijing a few days ago. Almost the entire capital now knows about it. It’s very terrible.” Gann and eating peanuts were shocked and said, “Think about it, the current prince, the future The prince, he actually likes a man, tusk, many people are lamenting Guo Zuo’s worry.”

Sui Yan continued to eat: “Oh.”

Song Xian looked at Sui Yan vaguely while eating, and said nothing to Jiang Enhe.

Gannhe didn’t notice the strangeness between the two, and continued to say: “Moreover, the rumors make His Royal Highness obsessed with crazy people, guess who?”

Sui Yan accompanied him to act together and blinked: “Who?”

Gann took a photo of the small case, and said mysteriously: “You.”

Sui Yan: “Oh.”

Jiang Enhe talked so much before, just want to say this sentence and saw Sui Yan startled. At this time, Sui Yan’s reaction made him a little stunned.

Gann and dryly said, “Ah…what, you, aren’t you surprised?”

Sui Yan said: “Didn’t you say it? It’s all rumors, it can’t be true.”

Gann and Nane said, “Although you say that, but you…are you really not surprised?”

Song Xian sneered from the side and said, “What is he surprised? Whether these rumors are true or false, they may save his life. What’s wrong with the stigma?”

Gannhe: “Why do you say this?”

Song Xian said: “Forget Gui was framed this time. The evidence is conclusive and unsubstantiated. It is inherently tricky. It is rumored that Dali Siqing had a personal relationship with the second prince, so this opportunity will not be easily let go. If they kill the forgetful Going back to the real world, do you think that forgetting to go back to the real world can be completely innocent and exonerated?”

Jiang Enhe had decided that Sui Yan would be innocent before he came to bring things to break the rumors with him to relieve his boredom, and the whole person was stunned when he heard this.

“What, what should I do?”

Song Xian glanced at him with hatred for iron and steel.

Sui Yan still ate the candied fruit graciously, and said indifferently: “If this rumor comes out, and your Majesty punishes me severely, it is a guilty conscience that wants to get rid of me, a demon minister who is so obsessed with His Royal Highness. What’s the difference between directly admitting that the dignified future prince really loves a man?”

Gann and some didn’t recover, and were stunned for a long time.

Sui Yan stuffed a candied fruit into Gannhe’s mouth and said with a smile: “And our Majesty today pays the most attention to face. In this way, do you think he will punish me severely?”

Gann blinked blankly before turning away.

Sui Yan stretched out and said lazily: “So even if I really want to collude with the princess of Nanjiang to murder the emperor, he will not kill me at all.”

Song Xian said: “Moreover, the reason why Wanggui was at the Xingbu Yamen was that Dali Temple bit those letters and did not let go, but anyone with a discerning eye in the dynasty could see that, except for those letters that were too deliberate, the princess of the former Dynasty Nanjiang Still dying after the incident, there is no evidence of complete conviction.”

Gann and his brows frowned: “So this matter is big and big, and small is also small?”

Sui Yan stretched out his hand and flicked his head, and smiled: “Everything depends on how your Majesty decides.”

But now that this happened suddenly, even if the emperor wanted to put Sui Yan and death to death, he wouldn’t hold on to this matter anymore.

Only then did Gann slow down and murmured: “The person who spread the rumors is really unintentional.”

Sui Yan smiled, what accidentally inserted Liu Chengyin into Liu Chengyin. After figuring out this incident, he could directly guess that there must be Duan Mingchong’s handwriting behind it. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence. Sui Yan just had an accident, he was the same as Duan Ming. Chong’s relationship was shaken out in such a stately manner.

Suddenly, Sui Yan looked at Jiang Enhe’s chest and tried to make fun of him.

He leaned slightly, leaned in front of Gannhe, tilted his head, and whispered softly: “Moreover, it is not a rumor that I am in love with the prince.”

Jiang Enhe was about to grab peanuts to eat, he was dumbfounded, and said in a daze, “Huh?”

Sui Yan grinned, lowered his voice, and said, “I said, this is not a rumor. I and the prince have already decided my life forever.”

Gannhe: “…”

Song Xian’s face turned green on the side.

The author has something to say: Gannhe: Huh? Huh? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At this moment, everyone sees on the moon.
